A Magical Transformation

Abbey was a PMU (pregnant mare urine) horse that I rescued. Her former role in life was to stand in a stall -- while pregnant -- while all of her urine was collected to make the drug Premarin.

When she arrived in Connecticut at almost 3 years old, she was afraid of everything and everyone and was totally untrained. Now, after a lot of love and patience, you can see she is quite gentle. She and Buffy are friends and occasionally spend a few tender moments together.

I have been riding her on trails and in fields, and we have become best buddies. She loves her home in Waterford, where she can graze and play in the fields and pee where she wants. Bringing Abbey into my life has been a magical experience of transformation for both of us.
